Description

Bridge the gap between theory and practice with this practical guide to social work direct practice. While many foundation courses focus on the theory of social work, this resource provides the actual techniques practitioners need to influence lives in positive ways. It moves beyond the what and why to focus on the how of effective client interaction. This hands-on manual integrates two major helping models: motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy. By combining these approaches, the book equips students with the specific tools required to activate client strengths throughout the entire problem-solving process. Whether you are a student or a developing professional, this guide offers a clear path to mastering the essential skills needed for direct social work practice.

Key Features

Integrates motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy to give students a diverse toolkit for client engagement.

Focuses on the how of practice to help practitioners move from understanding theory to implementing real-world skills.

Equips users with techniques designed to activate client strengths during the problem-solving process.

Designed as an easy-to-use guide for students preparing for direct practice in social work settings.
